This file is the top-level file of the hierarchical index of individuals. It can be used as an entry point to the database. If you specified a ``flat'' index, then entries for all the individuals appear in this file in alphabetical order. Otherwise, this file contains links to sub-index containing ranges of names, which point ultimately to the individual data pages.
This file contains a list of all the surnames in the database, with links into the lowest-level index pages. This file can also be used as an entry point to the database.
This file contains all the source information from the database. Source links from the individual data pages point here.
This file contains a list of all the individuals in the database, together with birth and death dates and places, but no lineage or other information. It is output in a special format to enable it to be processed by automatic indexing programs. See here for more information on an experimental indexing service I am running.
These files, which are present if you elected to use a hierarchical index of individuals, contain index nodes below the top level.
These files contain the actual data on individuals. The number of individuals per file depends on the default settings and the command-line options you chose.
If you elected to use subdirectories, then these directories are created to hold the individual data files.
